My first impression is the coin looks dipped/polished, and...I do not believe there were any proof coins issued in the UK in 1918.
...George V issued sets in 1911 on his accession and also in 1927 when the design of the silver coins was changed...

you are very wrong the coin has never been washed or polished by anyone it is a 100% proof like. most likely it was part of some collector's coin set

The British mint is the authority on what coins they have made. Proof sets were issued, back then, normally only for years of a design change. The year 1918 was between design changes. No proofs were made. They would know.

Therefore, we have to look elsewhere for a logical explanation...

Here is how to duplicate what you are seeing on your sixpence.
